Banca Transilvania consolidated its loan portfolio steadily in 2022

Preliminary financial results as at 31 December 2022


  • BT financed companies with RON 19.8 billion and retail clients with RON 8.2 billion during 2022.

2022 has been a very complicated year, marked by the war in Ukraine and multiple economic uncertainties, caused by inflation and by the energy crisis. Despite this difficult context, Romania's economy has weathered this period well. Regarding Banca Transilvania, we continued to be the largest lender in Romania and the most important partner in the Government programs launched in 2022. We also continued to invest in technology, digitalization and infrastructure and strengthened the Bank’s and the Group’s position on the local market. The financial results confirm our expectations and are the foundation for our future ambitions. We closely monitor and remain mindful of the geopolitical and macroeconomic developments, but, at the same time, keep ourselves open to potential opportunities, states Horia Ciorcilă, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Banca Transilvania.

BT Financial Group's assets reached 140.5 billion lei at the end of last year. Loans increased to 68 billion lei and deposits reached 119.7 billion lei, of which 79.9 billion lei belonged to individual customers and 39.85 billion lei to corporate customers. BT Financial Group's consolidated net profit is 2,488.4 million lei, of which the bank's is 2,178 million lei. The bank's operating profit increased to RON 2,698.7 million. The bank's operating efficiency, as reflected by the cost/income ratio, remained at a comfortable 49.7% thanks to good cost management and efficiency gains through the digitization of processes.


The bank's management will propose to the Board of Directors an allocation of the profit for 2022 for the bank’s capitalization amounting to over RON 900 million, with the remaining part being allocated to reserves from retained earnings. The profit appropriation proposal is in line with the prudential recommendations of the National Macroprudential Supervisory Committee and the National Bank of Romania, given the volatile international context and the domestic challenges. Thus, the profit for 2022 will be used to sustain the lending and development of the Romanian economy in the future.
